Owens played the same Vero Beach venue in October 2021. Previously, his annual hometown concerts have taken place at the Indian River County Fairgrounds, the Vero Beach High School Performing Arts Center and the Jackie Robinson Training Complex, formerly Historic Dodgertown.

The nonprofit Jake Owen Foundation was established in 2010, initially to offer financial support on a national level to children battling cancer and other catastrophic childhood diseases through St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.

The foundation also provides assistance to various youth organizations and charities in Indian River County. It since has expanded beneficiaries and raised over $3 million.
